School Days Are Here Again!

     Wikipedia says, "‘School Days’, also known as ‘School Days (When We Were a Couple of Kids)’, is an American popular song written in 1907 by Will Cobb and Gus Edwards.  Its subject is a mature man and woman looking back sentimentally on their lifelong friendship and their days in primary school. The best known part of the song is its chorus:  School days, school days,  Dear old golden rule days. 'Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic,’ ‘Taught to the tune of a hick'ry stick.’”

     The song speaks nostalgically about times when people treated others as they wanted to be treated; a time when the basics of learning were taught and when the appropriate discipline was given and expected.  Many parents yearn for those “good old days” to return...or at least for the real learning and discipline. 

     Our Wednesday evening classes will begin on September 8.  Parents still yearn for the “good old days” of real Bible training for themselves and for their children.

     Our AWANA program is one such a program.  Kids love it because in includes a game time which gets their attention, (and burns some of that extra energy) a Bible class which teaches them the Word and a memorization plan which plants that Word in their hearts!

     Likewise, adults want Bible training like the “good old days” too!  Our ALPHA program allows new believers and individuals wishing to review basic doctrine a chance to learn the basics of the Bible! 

     Our INSTE program allows individuals to go to Bible school right here at First Church. There is also a weekly Bible study which is a verse by verse exposition of the Scriptures every Wednesday evening.

     Everyone should be involved in some way in our “good old days” training here at First Church, either as a participant in a class or as a volunteer assisting in classes as leaders, helpers, cooks or nursery workers!  We desperately need you to be in a “good old days” ministry!

     It has been said that someday today will be the “good old days” we look back on.  Hopefully, someday, we will be able to look back on these days as the “good old days” of great Bible training for our kids and for ourselves!  Don’t miss out on another great opportunity to learn the truths of the Word and/or to serve and help others learn!  Maybe someday it will be nostalgic for you!

     I can’t wait to see you Sunday! 

    And remember, I love you!  Pastor Curt
